The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.06, has ghostscript packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A trivial sandbox (enabled with the `-dSAFER` option) escape flaw was found in the ghostscript interpreter     by injecting a specially crafted pipe command. This flaw allows a specially crafted document to execute     arbitrary commands on the system in the context of the ghostscript interpreter. The highest threat from     this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3781)

  - The jpc_qcx_getcompparms function in jpc/jpc_cs.c for the JasPer JPEG-2000 library (libjasper) before     1.900 allows remote user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly corrupt the     heap via malformed image files, as originally demonstrated using imagemagick convert. (CVE-2007-2721)

  - Stack-based buffer overflow in the zseticcspace function in zicc.c in Ghostscript 8.61 and earlier allows     remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a postscript (.ps) file containing a long Range array in a     .seticcspace operator. (CVE-2008-0411)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the big2_decode_symbol_dict function (jbig2_symbol_dict.c) in the JBIG2     decoding library (jbig2dec) in Ghostscript 8.64, and probably earlier versions, allows remote attackers to     execute arbitrary code via a PDF file with a JBIG2 symbol dictionary segment with a large run length     value. (CVE-2009-0196)

  - Multiple integer overflows in icc.c in the International Color Consortium (ICC) Format library (aka     icclib), as used in Ghostscript 8.64 and earlier and Argyll Color Management System (CMS) 1.0.3 and     earlier, allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and     application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code by using a device file for a translation request     that operates on a crafted image file and targets a certain native color space, related to an ICC     profile in a (1) PostScript or (2) PDF file with embedded images. (CVE-2009-0583)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
